Bath resealing at your home in Heyshaw
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s damp near the bath and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit.

What else we do in Heyshaw
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

FAQs for Heyshaw
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are there extra charges for Heyshaw?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How long before I can shower?
Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep the joints dry
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Hidden water damage
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What affects the price in Heyshaw
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
